Does this look dodgy? (Pics)

[jobsagudden]

I noticed this mole on my leg a few weeks ago had some dark patches on it. I assumed I had somehow cut it and thought nothing of it. I then noticed again yesterday that it's still dark. Has a bit of a fiddle with it and it started bleeding.

I am now panicking it might be a nodular melanoma. I do probably have a bit of health anxiety but what do you think?

Have phones doctors but they can't fit me in until next week.

It's only tiny probably about 5mm, I do have quite a few moles, I'm fair but do tan.

any advice would be helpful.

Thank you

I had one that looks a bit similar and grew a lot when I was pregnant. The GP had a quick look and said it was fine. Hopefully yours is as straightforward but it's really good you're getting it checked x

@Hollywhiskey thank you! Have been recently pregnant so maybe hormonal? Thanks for replying! x

I had something similar come up on my face. I have other moles but this was dark, itchy and bled easily. I saw a nurse practitioner at the surgery and she was brilliant. Said it was a wart, and was harmless. I picked at it and it healed smaller, and has now completely gone. It did take a few weeks though. So try not to worry, and get it looked at.

My husband had something similar recently. Doctor sent him to Dermatology and they said it was actually a blood vessel and removed it as it would be prone to bleeding.

Thanks so much both. Feeling less stressed now.

I have one that looks a bit like that too that I also had checked as it changed whilst I was pregnant. Doctor said it's fine but for peace of mind for me told me to take a picture of it and take one each month for a few months to ensure it wasn't changing again.

Still get it checked out just to be sure but hopefully it'll be harmless

@HarveySpectorWins

Thanks so much. Feeling a lot better now.

Yes it does, but easily removed. Pop into theGP.
